Thanks for a successful Fur Ball

The Friends of Beverly Animals (FOBA), would like to express its appreciation to the following businesses and individuals who generously supported our recent fundraising event, the Fur Ball, held at the Franco-American Club on Oct. 13.

Paul Guanci of Super Sub/Casual Catering provided delicious food and everyone enjoyed the music by the band Ditto. Staff at the Franco-American Club were very helpful. We also appreciated Beverly State Rep. Jerry Parisella, who once again took time from his busy schedule to attend our Fur Ball. Lest we leave anyone out, we want to thank everyone in the community who helped make this event so successful. At the end of the day it is the homeless/abandoned animals who’ll benefit from our collective efforts. -- Heidi Roberts, president and founder, and all the volunteers at The Friends of Beverly Animals

Thanks and congratulations

I am writing because I want to thank everyone who voted for me in the Register of Deeds race and did all you could to support my campaign.

I want to thank my family and friends for helping me in my candidacy. I want to thank the Republican Committees that have helped me from the initial meetings of gathering signatures all the way to the final few hours of getting signs out to the polling stations, making phone calls, and donating time and money. It is much appreciated.

Although we did not win an election, I think we succeeded in making more people aware of the importance of the Registry of Deeds office. I think we also began a conversation about the need to reform our political system and the need for term limits to advance democracy and competition.

I want to congratulate John O'Brien in winning re-election. Although we had sharp disagreements in the campaign, which will happen in a competitive environment, I believe that he loves his job and he wants to make sure that the Registry is working to protect your deeds as your most valuable document.

It is my hope and prayer that God will bless his work and keep him safe as he continues his service to administer this office. Once again thank you for the opportunity for allowing me the privilege of running for this important office. God bless you and thank you. -- Jonathan Ring, Pooles Lane, Rockport
